10% of people are decent, 10% evil and the other 80% will just go where they think is best for them - Susan Sontag

An unrelated example, an estinated 11000 people die every year in Australia from transport pollution, try and redo how we do things based on that horrifying data ? Crickets and push back, 30 a fucking day for decade after decade, way more then any war or terrorist event. Oh we are gassing jews, gays and gypsies, of course we are!

Traffic pollution likely causes more than 11,000 premature deaths in Australia a year.

Good to not forget that normal people are capable of atrocious behavior.

When talking about the making of Jojo Rabbit (a must see movie, in my opinion), I remember Taika Waititi making a point out wanting to represent the colourful fashion and more lively sides of Germany under the Third Reich. War movies tend to portray Nazis as dark and dull figures with no inner life other than murdering Jews and plotting for world domination. This is probably dangerous, as we won't recognize the fascists when they're in front of us. They'll be laughing and dancing as they murder the innocent.

Similar to how we study Eichmann to learn about the banality of evil, I think pictures like this one should be in every text book. This is what evil looks like — pretty much like anything else, if you're willing to ignore the atrocities.

Highly recommend The Zone of Interest as well. An unusual film about everyday life of nazis.

Came here to mention Zone of Interest. Incredible film.

Extraordinary film about the Holocaust and can’t recommend it enough. The use of sound to portray the horrors of the camp in juxtaposition to the daily life of a German family is amazing. It’s a fresh take on the genre.

Speak for yourself.

Considering how much fascism is on the rise globally and the results in the latest US election, most people do not in fact recognize fascism. Nor see it as the threat it is

People still do not call russia a nazi state despite the obvious either.
